Alcoholism Flashcards
NAD+ requiring enzyme
Alcohol dehydrogenase
Drinking alcohol that passes first through the liver
Ethanol
Alcohol dehydrogenase oxidizes ethanol to?
Acetaldehyde
Oxidizes acetaldehyde to become acetate
Aldehyde dehydrogenase
Second major pathway for ethanol metabolism
Found in SER predominantly in mitochondria
MEOS or microsomal ethanol oxidizing system
MEOS involves
Cytochrome P450 (CYP2E1)
MEOS requires ________ instead of NAD+
NADPH
MEOS induced in individuals who?
Chronically consume alcohol
A non oxidative pathway of alcohol
FAEE or fatty acid ethyl ester
Formation of fatty acid ethyl esters
Highly susceptible to the toxic effects of alcohol
FAEE
Pwede din ito sa metabolism ng alcohol kaya labg kailangan ng _______ at _______ kaya walang major role ito sa normal conditions.
Peroxisomes
Catalase
Hydrogen peroxide
This can be lead to severe hypoglycemia because of increase production of NADH
Decrease gluconeogenesis
Increase glycolysis
This can lead to lactic acidosis because of increase production of NADH
Increase pyruvate that converted to lactate
Increase ketoacidosis
1% of alcohol in the blood
.10 of BAC
Mild impairement
